It’s not just their 32nd-ranked defense that the Broncos must address in the upcoming NFL Draft. There is also the Broncos’ offense that in their past five non-playoff seasons has ranked 19th (2010), 20th (2009), 16th (2008), 21st (2007) and 17th (2006) in scoring.

“We’ll start our meetings at the end of the week with offense and then we’ll shift to defense,’’ said Brian Xanders, the Broncos’ general manager.

“Our coaches will present their rankings and their viewpoints. We’ll bring a few of our scouts to town for these meetings. That way we can get everybody on the same page with what the order is and how we see it.’’

Here’s what the Broncos need on offense: Pass-catching tight end, blocking tight end (unless Richard Quinn is the answer), power running back (even if LenDale White returns from his Achilles injury), right tackle and receiver.

I still think the Broncos could do worse than Ryan Harris at right tackle, but indications are the team will try to find someone else there. There hasn’t been much talk about receiver because it was the team’s strength last season. But recent surgeries to repair Demaryius Thomas’ Achilles and Eddie Royal’s hip, along with the fact Jabar Gaffney will turn 31 later this year, has the Broncos looking at the young receiver crop.

The most pressing offensive need, though, is tight end. The Broncos can do worse with their first of two second-round picks (No. 36 overall) than use it on Notre Dame TE Kyle Rudolph.
